problem with connecting snippet?

just tested this in a css file. Add a pseudo class:
type h2, then open snippet via ctrl-space,
now you see h preselected,
remove h with backspace,
type : or click down to pseudo, enter,
2 is deleted,
choose pseudo ..., enter
result: h:first-letter (instead of h2:first-letter)

With a or li, both will be deleted. Typing #myid, then the last letter will be deleted. I have to set a blank and delete the space afterwards.
The same behaviour with class or id snippet. Cannot create ul#test, have to write ul #test.
With class or id it's tolerable, but with pseudo it's wrong.

Other example: when using prefix, there's no problem.
Can write -moz- and add snippet directly. Something like -moz-transition is no problem.

Any idea, how to handle this?

now I tried the following. Include Keywords in css.def:
link
active
hover
focus
visited
first
first-link
first-child
last-child
first-letter
before
after
left
right

so I type e.g. li:fi and the popup brings up the options.

But it's not possible to use following keywords style:
:link
:active
:hover
:focus
:visited
:first
:first-link
:first-child
:last-child
:first-letter
:before
:after
:left
:right

this would be easier/faster to use.

@Jan: it's not possible to start keywords with colon?

Possible is near everything. Each highlighter has defined some stop chars. Stop chars = chars what delimit words.
I would be necessary modify highlighter, but I am afraid it causes stop highlighting correctly.
Another possibility is split stop chars in autocomplete from highlighter.

Hi Jan

using keywords without colon is not really a problem. So we have to type only one more char to get the pseudo class popping up.

Any idea about the problem (first post) with connecting snippets?
